Reds try to avoid fourth straight defeat

Jun 16, 2007 - 1:28 PM Texas (25-42) at Cincinnati (26-42) 7:10 pm EDT

CINCINNATI (Ticker) - The Cincinnati Reds will try to snap a three-game slide when they host the Texas Rangers in the second game of a weekend interleague series on Saturday.

The Reds hand the ball to Aaron Harang (6-2, 3.93 ERA), who is searching for his first win in three starts. He was impressive in his pervious outing, tossing seven scoreless innings but did not figure into a 1-0 win vs. Cleveland last Sunday.

Harang has no record with a eye-poping 12.34 ERA in three career starts against the Rangers.

Texas' Jamey Wright (0-0, 16.88 ERA) looks to bounce back after a dismal season debut. The 32-year-old righthander was tagged for five runs and five hits in just 2 2/3 frames against Tampa bay on April 19.

Wright opened the season on the 60-day disabled list with inflammation in his throwing shoulder. He is 6-4 lifetime against the Reds. Slugger Sammy Sosa delivered his 599th career homer and drove in five runs as the Rangers posted a 7-6 triumph in Friday's series opener.

Sosa is just one blast shy from joining Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays as the only players in baseball history to hit 600 homers.
